25. Store food and snacks

"These four prices are the same, give me five kinds, one ten catties. I'll pick up some more candy preserves. You go and ask your shopkeeper, I buy a lot, can you send some pastries or cheaper. ”

"Don't worry, I'll call the shopkeeper, and the more you buy, I will definitely give you a discount." As he spoke, he ran to the back door and shouted a few times.

Li Xiangdong asked Luo Yun at this time: "What do you like?" ”

Luo Yun frowned in distress and said, "I want everything, I look like it's delicious." ”

Li Xiangdong shook his head with a smile and said, "Then let's buy a pound or two of these expensive ones to taste." ”

Luo Yun nodded violently.

The two were discussing which ones to buy, and the shopkeeper came over and said, "This big brother, you buy a lot, and I am also a cheerful person." In this way, no matter what kind of money you buy, I will give you a pound if you buy ten pounds. ”

The two negotiated the price and chose the pastry preserves. Li Xiangdong asked Xiao Er to pack the other bags that he would send.

Luo Yun didn't buy those pastries that cost more than one or two pounds, and only chose a few pastries that cost a few hundred dollars a catty.

Luo Yun looked at the more than two hundred catties of pastries loaded with the ox cart, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

Shopkeeper Chen was introducing the fried goods to Li Xiangdong: "These melon seeds and peanuts are just fried today, and they are very fragrant. These broad beans and jelly beans can be bought to entertain customers. Pine nuts, chestnuts, walnuts, these are the goods that only came in this year, you eat and see, the particles are full and the taste is fragrant. ”

Li Xiangdong asked Luo Yun if he wanted to eat. Luo Yun asked for fifty catties of peanuts, the melon seeds were too small, I really didn't like it, it was too troublesome.

After Li Xiangdong bought peanuts, he asked the shopkeeper Chen: "Do you still want to collect chestnuts and walnuts?" ”

"Big brother, you have chestnuts at home, and walnuts to sell?"

"Yes, I don't know how much you charge the shopkeeper."

"I don't want much chestnut. The shop also makes pastries by going to the grain store to buy ready-made chestnut flour. These fried chestnuts cost six dollars a pound, and there is no profit, that is, make up the number. We pay attention to the complete range of goods when we do business. ”

Li Xiangdong was a little disappointed when he heard this.

Shopkeeper Chen changed his words and said, "Big brother, if you have walnuts there, we can enter some in the store." You also heard me say just now, these walnuts are sold for 20 yuan, and most of them are sold to large families to make snacks. I can only give you the price of ten cents for this purchase. ”

Luo Yun's eyes widened, and he doubled his earnings with a single pound.

Shopkeeper Chen seemed to know what they were thinking, so he explained: "Don't look at how much I earn, my store rents, hires people, and dots all cost money." ”

Luo Yun had nothing to say. Doing business, I don't understand...

Li Xiangdong looked at Luo Yun and said, "Do you want to sell it?" ”

Luo Yun blinked and said, "I'll let you go." It's up to you. ”

Li Xiangdong asked the shopkeeper Chen: "Then how much can you want?" ”

"I can ask for five hundred catties here, and this thing won't be bad for a while."

"That's okay, I'll go back to the county seat and bring it to you."

"I can't say here without the exact time. If I can't wait, I can only buy other people's goods. ”

"Within ten days, I'll send it to you within ten days. In terms of price, you can see if you can grow more, I can guarantee that the walnuts are big and full. ”

"That's fine. I'll talk about it after seeing the goods, but I want to make it clear first, at most a penny or two. ”

"Okay, that's it."

He turned his head and said to Luo Yun, "Let's go, we have to go buy food." ”

When the two of them left the dim sum shop, they came into a grain store called the harvest grain shop.

This grain shop is bigger, with a three-open door, and the inside is also spacious. In addition to cereals, there are also all kinds of seeds, dehydrated dried vegetables, and all kinds of mountain goods. Even eggs and duck eggs are sold. Agricultural products are purchased and sold here all year round.

Li Xiangdong saw that the time was not early, and it was dark when he rushed home, so he went straight to the coarse grain.

I bought five hundred sacks, thinking that I would always need to use them, so I bought more. I bought two thousand catties of coarse grains. I asked the shopkeeper about the prices of walnuts and chestnuts. Chestnuts are five pounds a pound, walnuts are ten pounds a pound. It's the same as what the shopkeeper Chen said.

When the matter was done, the two drove the ox cart home from the north gate.

When he arrived at the North City Gate, Luo Yun asked Li Xiangdong to drive the ox cart first. He stood on the side of the street with the bag of chestnuts and beckoned to the little beggars who followed him. The little beggars hula and cheered around.

Luo Yun looked at them and said, "Which of you is the boss?" ”

After listening to Luo Yun's words, two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys stood up with a restrained expression.

Luo Yun looked at the two boys in tattered clothes, not like the fierce ones, and said, "I don't have time to give you points here." You two are here to help me divide it, and you have to make sure that everyone gets it, and it can't be too different. Can it be done? If I can do it, next time I come to the county seat, I will bring you food. ”

The eyes of the two boys lit up, and they were frighteningly bright.

This is entrusted with a heavy task by the heroine!

Busy nodding. The other little beggars also promised that they would not make a robbery.

Luo Yun put down the bag, ignored them, and went to chase Li Xiangdong.

The ox cart was pulling more than 2,000 catties of things, and it was really not fast. Luo Yun arrived at Li Xiangdong's side in the blink of an eye. Li Xiangdong was slightly surprised and said, "Why is it so fast? Luo Yun said, "I'll chase you when I put it there." Let them divide it themselves, where is there so much care. Li Xiangdong said: "You put your things there, you are not afraid of them grabbing and fighting." ”

"I told them, this time they obediently divided it, and next time I will bring them food."

Li Xiangdong smiled and said, "You, you don't care, you don't care." It's better to pick up something than anyone else. ”

Luo Yun rolled his eyes and said, "I also look at this thing, there are many more in our space." It's easy to get some anyway, just give them some. ”

But Li Xiangdong knew that his daughter-in-law was obsessed with food. It's not easy to get her to give food to others.

Luo Yun looked at the cow and walked too slowly, so he said, "How long does this have to go?" I'll put the food away. ”

"No, there are so many pedestrians on the road now."

"It's okay, old way, I untied the rope and covered the straw mat. Surely I can't find it. ”

"What if someone sees us buying food and lifts the curtain to see?"

"Humph! I won't let you see it, who dares to see it. If he dared to do it, the old lady chopped off his hand. ”

Li Xiangdong looked at his daughter-in-law's domineering appearance, shook his head and laughed, seeing that it was too late to see the sky, he hesitated for a moment, and agreed.

The bullock cart has no weight, so it is naturally much faster. The two of them got on the ox cart and sped up.

By the time he got home, he had already fallen asleep. Li Laohan didn't sleep, and was still waiting for the two of them to go home.

Li Laohan welcomed them into the courtyard, lit the torches in the courtyard and asked, "What's the matter?" It's going well in town, right? Nothing happened, right? ”

Li Xiangdong replied: "It's okay, what can happen, it's all sold out." Dad, why don't you go to sleep first. ”

"It's still early, wash your faces, hurry up to eat, are you hungry?"

Li Xiangdong said: "I'm not hungry. ”

Luo Yun said, "Well, starving, starving. ”

After the two finished speaking at the same time, they looked at each other and laughed.

Li Laohan also said happily: "Look at you, you still say kind words to your father, but you are not as sincere as your daughter-in-law." ”

Li Xiangdong touched his nose and smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not afraid that my father will worry." ”

Li Laohan patted his son's arm and said with a smile: "Okay, okay." Daddy knows you're filial. Go and eat, and I'll serve the cow. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Zi was already standing at the door for the third time to listen to the movement. This time, I finally heard his father and mother get up. Standing outside the door and shouting: "Daddy and Mom, get up quickly, open the door quickly, I want to go in." ”

Li Xiangdong replied helplessly: "It's coming, it's coming!" He urged Luo Yun to quickly put on his clothes.

As soon as Gu Zi entered the door, he threw himself into his mother's thigh, hugged his mother's thigh, and asked with a small face: "Mother, mother." Did you buy all those dim sum for us to eat ourselves? ”

Luo Yun said, "Yes, they are all bought and eaten." ”

"Don't give it away?"

Luo Yun asked, "What's wrong, who do you want to give it to?" ”

Gu Zi shook his head and said, "I don't want to give it away, grandma's house came yesterday." said that my father beat the big tiger, and I didn't know how to honor them, and said that my father and I had no conscience and were not filial. Gu Zi's voice became lower and lower, and he lowered his head with a flat mouth and some grievances.

Luo Yun looked at Li Xiangdong in confusion and asked, "My mother came yesterday?" "No, I didn't look at that woman that day, she didn't look like someone who would say such a thing.

Li Xiangdong touched his nose and coughed embarrassedly before saying, "It's Guzi's own grandmother." ”

Luo Yun: "Oh......"

The sound is nine curves and eighteen bends, and the meaning is unknown.

Li Xiangdong was amused by Luo Yun's expression, which was like this, and he watched the show.

Stretched out his finger and poked hard at Luo Yun's head, Luo Yun's head tilted to the side along the force, and blinked, looking like I didn't say anything, very innocent.

Li Xiangdong shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Go wash and eat first." They're probably coming, too. Then he said to Guzi: "Don't pester your mother, let her eat first." ”

And the grain let go.

Luo Yun was surprised: "Will you come so early?" ”

Li Xiangdong smiled bitterly and said: "No profit can not be early." ”

said that he fell and went out first.

Luo Yun touched his chin and thought about it.

After eating, several people went to the east house to sit down before talking about the things in the county seat. Li Xiangdong took twenty taels of broken silver and gave it to Li Laohan. Li Laohan knew that Dahu sold it for a good price, so he was not polite, so he took it and put it in the box in the kang cabinet and locked it. That's when I asked about the situation in the county.

Gu Zi couldn't hold back for a long time next to him, and took advantage of the gap to whisper to Luo Yun: "Mother, let's hide some snacks." ”

Luo Yun said: "Why do you want to hide it, just put it here, you can take it yourself if you want to eat, isn't it?" ”

Gu Zi was anxious, and his voice also raised and said: If you don't hide it, you will take it away later. ”

Li Laohan's face was full of embarrassment.

Luo Yun looked at Li Xiangdong

Li Xiangdong coughed uncomfortably, turned his head with his eyes dodging, and didn't dare to look at her. Feeling that something was wrong, he turned his head again.
